Cool, nice start. As Ulco said this will be a "Wow!"-pic with the modification, he and WAS suggest

While there, you may also consider if the cooling is up to the task and dust isn't physically clogging your system (unless you already did, I jumped back to your topic just now). I know this has been the cause for the headache for me as well. Nothing was running smoothly until I finally fixed the cooling system and got rid of throttling.

If the computer is one-year old as you say, it might be a good time to renew cooling and dust it off. This is usually the amount of time after which I go to the "pit-stop" and get these things done.

Your "homo digitalis" are really not bad, they look quite natural so I wouldn't bother. Perhaps a few drops of sweat running from the forehead would do the trick?

Because of that i prefer to use V2 clouds actually.

Just like me. V2 clouds have always been more "sculptable" in my view. V3 lighting can be beautiful but they are best if you just need general coverages fast. I just can't mask them the way I wanted to...

The different look is down to texture space for the noise.

The rest is just lighting settings / limitations.

Edit: Here is a change to that file with more similar lighting. The big difference is v2 scattering colour is gray, where v3 is sampling lighting and creating this dark scattering area with enviro light tinting it looks like.

I don't think it's texture space, because if it was, the "Move textures with clouds" box would save the day. It doesn't. This might have a lot to do with scattering and lighting that you mention, but certainly not the "mask" for the cloud.

Really, I am at a loss trying to understand why the same exact fractal would generate a different cloud shape... It's really weird.

Indeed, I've been messing with procedural skinflaws, but use only a basic reflection (which I'm also struggling with), so I might dive into better mapping/reflections. But as Jochen states, it's all so time-consuming.

Indeed, shop is closed, and I don't sell any files anymore. Also can't give away files that others purchased previously, wouldn't be fair.
If there's anything particular you want to achieve, maybe I can explain and you set it up yourself.

Hey @Matt  is there any update on a native Manhattan noise? I wonder if this topic is of any help with ideas: http://www.pixelninja.design/manhattan-voronoi-approximation/
